certainly superb affair, being COM

of its churches, schools, the country sur
rounding and tributary to the city; its
industries, business, and mineral re-
| sources; its achievements and prospects;
and shows its growth in population of
! 1000 in 1875 to 80, 900 in 1887; from one
railroad in 1876 to seven in 1887-with
two more located and still another
chartered. The first page is illustrated
by large map of the city, and by g rail
road map which shows that
Fort Worth is the center of
perfect network Of railways.
All this wonderful progress has been at
tanned by the united action of an enthu-
siastic people that had faith in themselves
and their town. A fine Illustration is
also given of the new state capitol now
in course of construction at Austin. The
publishers of THE GAZETTE are deserving
of great praise for their excellent COM
pilation of facts about Fort Worth and
will no doubt again receive the plaudits
of united, prosperous and patriotic
people.

demonstrated that the Fort knows Just
exactly how to extend the hospitslities of

way that was highly appreciated by the
members of the Press Association.
